What does a tonearm contribute to the sound of a turntable?


Curious about how a tonearm affects a turntable sound. I guess it's the piece of the turntable I know the least about and feel the least connection with. how does a really good tonearm affect the sound or not affect the sound? And what about the tonearm does the affecting?

20-30% (at most), most important part is the turntable itself, a stable platform is the foundation. 
Hi,
LP's and R2R still rule, and yes getting up from your sofa is a sign of being alive otherwise we end up like humans in Wally.
